You guys do a phenomenal job of product development. Analysis, materials, machining, etc. were all 100% proper for the master cylinder brace. Alot of us want to see you guys take that methodology and continue it for more complex parts. Thanks for supporting the 86 community, and hopefully we can make you guys filthy rich. :happy0180: |
Haha, it is morning. I've gotta get my coffee and brush the snow off the BRZ (wtf?) before we start having too much fun.
You nailed it. We used the FARO arm to plot points on the strut towers with the car in a number of different states (corner lifted, different bars, etc). Like Chase mentioned, it's not a perfect simulation of how the chassis behaves on the road/track, but we were able to get enough solid, repeatable data that we can be confident that we aren't traveling down a dead-end road.
Thanks for the kind words! We don't need filthy rich; we're already living the gearhead/engineers dream each and every day we get to help you guys go faster and look cooler. We've really enjoyed working with the ft86 community to bring you guys products that you want/need. We have a TON of experience with exhaust design and manufacturing and when the time is right, we'll be raising the bar where that's concerned. Check out a couple of our videos from other subaru exhaust revisions/design. Hurry, before Chase sees that I'm posting off-topic in his thread!
